They also agreed to join hands to minimise the adverse effects of natural disasters, address global climate and encourage dialogue amongst youths.
They discussed topics on politics& security, economics& trade and regional cooperation, and adopted 14 resolutions on issues relevant to development solutions devised by countries.
A resolution on climate change sponsored by six countries, including Vietnam, was also passed by the conference.
Vietnam put forward an initiative on ‘establishing a common cooperation mechanism in the Asia-Pacific region,’ to face climate change threats. The mechanism will comprise inter-parliamentary organisations such as the Asia-Pacific Parliamentary Forum (APPF) and the ASEAN Inter-parliamentary Assembly (AIPA) and regional organisations such as APEC and ASEAN. The initiative was warmly welcomed by the delegates.
During their stay, the Vietnamese delegation led by Vice Chairwoman of the National Assembly Tong Thi Phong had meetings with a number of participating delegations including China, Laos, Cambodia, Russia, Canada and Singapore.
